I suspect it a "genetics gone wild" thing. She sure is a cutie and I agree as long as she has a good home and is loved that's all that matters. Karen has an idea...an expensive one to be sure but still if anyone could figure it out it should be the vet school at Tufts in Boston..... And I'm not sure what good it would do to take her there....it's doubtful that they could "fix" her...... I guess it depends on the owner and how far they are willing to go....
